I See Stars

Rating: 3.5


She used to say she would be better off dead
But nobody else is
And now her allowance
Is given to the Suicide Prevention Center
In hope it doesn't happen again
Even though we know
It will
Are you better off now?
We aren't
She used to say that the stars would still shine if she left
I still see the stars
They still shine
But not as bright
And I don't want to see them
Without you.
